Suspected shooter in southwestern Russia detained

MOSCOW—Police have apprehended a man accused of killing six people in a shooting spree in Russia's southwest earlier this week.

Police in the city of Belgorod said in a statement Wednesday that they detained 31-year-old Sergei Pomazun outside a train station. They said he injured a police officer with a knife while resisting arrest.

A man opened fire Monday afternoon while attempting to rob a gun store, killing four employees. He then started shooting on the street outside, killing a 14-year-old girl, before escaping in a car. A second girl, aged 16, later died in the hospital.

Police said Wednesday some 2,000 people were involved in the two-day-long operation to find the suspected shooter.

Russia's Investigative Committee said on Wednesday that Pomazun has refused to cooperate with officials.

It's fair to assume that question was on the minds of many people who traveled along Colo. 128 south of Boulder this week if they happened to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a large, silver projectile perched alongside the highway and pointed north toward town.
